Chapter 401: The Wilderness Is Dangerous
Back in the hotel room, Ronan said to Connie: "Planning up what the girl said should be a good movie theme."
Connie then understood why the boss was so interested in these things.
No wonder the company's movies are successful one after another. This keen observation and ability to always forget to find movie subjects is indeed amazing.
"Okay." Connie responded quickly: "I'll sort it out tonight."
Ronan asked again at this time: "Connie, I remember you are a top student from a business school. Have you heard of these when you were in school?"
Connie said the truth: "No." She thought of what Natalie Doma said, and said: "I spent all my energy on studying and internships, and I had less contact with unrelated matters."
Ronan thought for a while and asked again: "I dropped out of school early. Not long after you left school. In your opinion, are there any similar situations in prestigious American schools?"
Connie thought for a while and said, "Not understanding does not mean that it does not exist. If we infer from the business atmosphere of American society and what I know, similar situations must exist."
Ronan nodded gently: "Your words are very good, but if you don't understand them, it doesn't mean they don't exist."
Just like in a relatively closed era, it is really a beauty to look at Hollywood outside the circle, but not understanding some of the rules does not mean that they do not exist.
For example, many people have never even heard of this word, but it really exists in the rock circles between the East and the West, and some female celebrities even come from the bones.
The famous rock stars Bibi Bill slept with a strong line, and Liv Taylor also came along during the period.
Connie asked, "Are you really going to make a movie with such a theme?"
Ronan said with a smile: "It's just a preliminary idea at the moment. We have to wait until we return to Los Angeles before we talk about it."
If you really want to shoot such a subject, you must have more knowledge and master more actual situations.
But from contact with Natalie Doma, Ronan found that these people were undoubtedly very expensive, and the identity of students from prestigious universities has undoubtedly become their high-price voucher.
Some people make money easily, while others make money hard. When this difference is linked together, it is easy to form a deformed industrial chain.
Ronan gradually had a clear idea. This type of movie must take the winning route, and Oscars must be the ultimate goal.
In this way, British universities are not the best choice, and the first choice must be the American institution.
The next day, Connie's information was transferred to Ronan. In addition to Natalie Doma's words last night, she also collected a lot of information from the Internet, and there was even a special website in the UK to engage in similar intermediary business.
Ronan collected the information and wrote the relevant information in the memorandum and put it aside for the time being. After all, there are other businesses in the UK that need to be processed.
The negotiation team of Shahai Entertainment completed the cooperation negotiations between Bell Griers, and Ronan signed a formal agreement with Bell Griers on behalf of Shahai Entertainment.
Starting from September, Shahai Entertainment will conduct full cooperation with Bell Griers.
According to the agreement reached, the first project that the two parties cooperated with was the rubber boat crossing the Atlantic Ocean by Bell Grylls and his team.
Shahai Entertainment has obtained free authorization from Bell Griers and can follow the whole process of filming this crossing adventure.
The second project to cooperate is Ronan's "Survival in the Wild". After Bell Grylls completed the cross-Atlantic Ocean, he will be transferred to the preparations for this project next year. It is expected that filming will begin in the second half of 2003 or the first half of 2004.
The filming of "Survival in the Wild" may be more cumbersome than the production of ordinary medium and large films in Hollywood. Just choosing the location of each episode and writing the script and finalizing the process according to the actual situation of the location is a very complicated task.
Ronan felt that it was not long to take a year to prepare.
Bell Griers signed a three-season film contract with Shahai Entertainment. He refused to continue talking about it any longer. The pay was not high. According to Bell Griers' current actual situation, the pay for the first season was 300,000 US dollars, and each season would increase by 100,000 US dollars.
“Happy cooperation.”
The signing was completed, Ronan shook hands with Bell Griers, and Bell Griers smiled all over his face: "Happy cooperation."
Bell Griers was in a very good mood. This time, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and finally had media guarantees, and no longer had an unknown move.
As an adventurer, do you want to be unknown or become famous all over the world?
In fact, this is not even a multiple-choice question.
Ronan said to Bell Griers: "I wish you a smooth sailing across the Atlantic this time!"
Bell Griers smiled and said, "Thank you for your sponsorship."
"Don't be so polite." Ronan said: "We are now partners, and these are within our ability of Shahai Entertainment."
Bell Griers thought of the show to work with in the future and said: "I just want to complete this crossing smoothly now and then devote myself to a new adventure. I can't wait."
Ronan laughed: "It will start soon."
Bell Griers suddenly said: "I hope we have the opportunity to take risks together in the future."
Ronan responded: "There will be such a chance."
People like him who are used to enjoying life will definitely be seriously uncomfortable if they go to the wilderness to play Bell's trick.
"By the way." Ronan took the initiative to change the topic: "After I go back, I will ask people to start making relevant preparations. You are an expert in adventure. Do you have any suggestions?"
Bell Griers had already had a lot of conversations with Ronan before, saying: "The best choice of locations for each episode of the first season is not the same. I personally suggest that when looking for locations, you can focus on rainforests, hills, deserts, ice fields, swamps and islands, and find places suitable for shooting."
Ronan nodded: "I've recorded it."
When it is time to listen to professional advice, Ronan will not be blindly confident.
After returning to this project, you need to hire a professional to start preparatory work.
A few days after completing the signing of Bell Griers, Ronan returned to Los Angeles on a flight and was anxious for a project meeting at Sand Sea Entertainment, with the focus being "Survival in the Wild".
“This is a reality show.”
In the conference room, Ronan asked Connie to send the information to several heads of the project production department, saying: "I have signed a contract with a British adventurer. The theme of the program is to let him enter dangerous wild places such as deserts, swamps, forests, and canyons in extremely harsh environments, in order to escape from danger, I try to find a way to get back to a civilized society."
He added: "The host will be in a real environment, use his professional survival skills to try to escape from danger and find a way back to human civilization."
George Clint said: "The preparation requires a very high professionalism and we need to recruit people."
Ronan nodded and said directly: "You are responsible for this."
"No problem." George Clint had a blind trust in Ronan's ability to choose options.
The rest of them did not express their opinions, and they were very clear about their positioning and capable executors.
Ronan said again: "If this program is done well, its profitability may even exceed that of popular movies. We can build a series of peripheral industrial chains around the program, such as outdoor products, survival electronic games, opening survival training camps, etc."
Having said that, Bell Griers has actually driven the adventure boom. Many hikers walked out of the city and entered the wilderness to explore, and many of them were blindly and impulsively encountered various misfortunes.
For those who have not received professional training, blindly impulsively entering the unmanned land for adventure is simply gambling with their lives, and they are the kind of people who lose nine out of ten bets.
In his previous life, since "Survival in the Wild" became popular, it triggered a ratings frenzy of outdoor adventures and brought strong visual and psychological shock to many people. Bell has thus become a household name superhero.
This is a show after all. Although Bell is indeed an explorer and was once a special forces soldier, in addition to the host of Bell, the show also has a production, shooting and logistics support team following him.
Before each episode of the program is filmed and produced, the production team of "Survival in the Wild" must inspect the terrain, plan the route and plan the script of each shooting location, and make some shooting preparations and logistics support, which is almost equivalent to the shooting process of a movie.
No one can deny that Bell has rich wild survival skills, strong physique and courage. "Survival in the Wild" brings people a lot of outdoor survival knowledge and outdoor survival skills, and also plays a good reference for outdoor adventure enthusiasts.
But blindly ran to the wild and followed the trend...
The wilderness is dangerous, the terrain is complex, and the meteorological conditions are changing. These factors will bring huge safety hazards to ordinary people. Bell is behind him, there is a strong production team and a strong logistics support team, and behind him, there is only a concern of parents and the concerns of relatives and friends.
Ronan has seen too much news about this in his previous life.
Various adventure reality shows are so popular, but life is yours, those casual adventure outdoor behaviors,
Not only did it hurt yourself, it even implicated the rescuers, but it was injured or even killed by the rescue.
After finalizing preliminary preparations such as "Survival in the Wild", Ronan asked Connie to contact the investigation and consulting company that had worked with many times, specifically hiring them to conduct relevant investigations on female students from various American universities, and collect as much information as possible to prepare for the subsequent film adaptation.
Ronan decided to promote the project.
He even thought about the style of the film, a dark realistic figure in the glitz and dazzling.
